It's 11pm and I'm still conscious. The only reason is because Jean is playing with the piano now, and I can't sleep with that type of sound because I'll start focusing on the music (melody, harmony, chord progressions etc) and waste my time lying in bed.

Today was a rather warm day at school. Evangeline came into the classroom complaining about the heat. I refused to agree with her weather report until Devotion in the hall. From 7.20am all the way till 5.30pm, I was perspiring. I never perspired in school unless it was PE, sectionals or running around. And the back of the class is out of reach from the ceiling fan, there are no electricity outlet stuff nearby and the wire of the portable fan is too short. Anyway, there were a few funny incidents today. First, Evangeline spotted some immorality in the student suggestion forms Chandini gave out. The mouse at the bottom was wearing a shirt but without pants, so she suggested that the school organise a donation drive to give the poor mouse some pants. Then, she tried to give a demonstration on how to eat like a Jie Ying. Very comical. I shall type it down some day, or maybe make an instructional video on it. All the laughing only made the heat worse. Conclusion for today, that the average human has a melting point of 30+ degrees celsius.

More on heat. The physics SPA (not the relaxing type) next week is based on heat.

Somemore on heat. Err, nothing much really. The only not-so-good thing that happened related to heat just now was that I had to take a shower after doing violin practice (my hair only just dried when I finished violin practice) because it was too hot. My shirt was slightly soaked, as well as the handkerchief. Oh an update, now I put a handkerchief on my neck at the chin rest part so my sweat doesn't damage my chin rest and violin. Cannot afford to damage the tuning peg and chin rest bacause they are Italian made and I think it probably means very risky. And an amazing thing is that for the past three months, I have been playing the dip exam pieces (except the concerto) with my eyes closed. I think I can half sleep and play at the same time so it's an extrmemely effecient way of saving time.

Okay my next door neighbour is done practicing. I can go sleep now.
